Epicentre of the quake was between Norcia, Preci and Castel Sant'Angelo sul Nera

No deaths but around 20 are injured, none seriously

Norcia's historic Basilica of St. Benedict destroyed, damage
to buildings in Rome Same area hit by quake in August and a pair of
aftershocks last week

Italy's most powerful earthquake
in 36 years dealt a new blow Sunday to the country's seismically
vulnerable heart, sending terrified residents fleeing for the third time
in nine weeks and flattening a revered six-century-old church.

Fabrizio Curcio, head of the national civil protection agency, said
around a dozen people had been injured but that there did not appear to
have been any fatalities.

"We are checking, there are several people injured but for the moment we have had no reports of victims," Curcio said.

The quake struck struck at 7:40
am (0640 GMT) near the small central mountain town of Norcia, unleashing
a shock felt in the capital Rome and even in Venice, 300 kilometres
(200 miles) away.

It measured 6.6 on the so-called moment magnitude scale, according to US geologists, while Italian monitors estimated it at 6.5.
It was Italy's biggest quake since a 6.9-magnitude events struck the south of the country in 1980, leaving 3,000 people dead.
Norcia's 14th-century Basilica of Saint Benedict, built on the reputed birthplace of the Catholic saint, was reduced to rubble.

The church is looked after by an
international community of Benedictine monks based in a local monastery
which attracts some 50,000 pilgrims every year.
"It was like a bomb went off," the town's deputy mayor, Pierluigi Altavilla told Rai News 24.
"We are starting to despair. There are too many quakes now, we can't bear it anymore."
Visibly upset, some of the monks and other residents knelt in prayer before the ruins.
The basilica was inspected last week by experts from the ministry of
culture and earmarked for structural repair work which could not be
carried out.
Guiseppe Pezzanesi, mayor of Tolentino in the neighbouring Marche
region, said the small town had "suffered our blackest day yet."
"The damage is irreparable. There are thousands of people in the
streets, terrified, crying. Let's hope that is an end to it, the people
are on their knees psychologically."

The quake's epicentre was located
at a very shallow depth of one kilometre (0.6 of a mile), six kms north
of Norcia, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), which measured
the magnitude at 6.6.
Italy's institute of geology and vulcanology (IGNV) measured the
quake at 6.5 and said it had been preceded by a 6.1 magnitude shock an
hour earlier.
It came four days after quakes of 5.5 and 6.1 magnitude hit the same area and nine weeks after nearly 300 people died in an August 24 quake that devastated the tourist town of Amatrice at the peak of the holiday season.
The 13th-century civic tower in Amatrice, which was damaged but left standing by the August quake, collapsed on Sunday.
As with Wednesday's tremors, the impact was mitigated by the fact
that any buildings deemed vulnerable to seismic activity had been
evacuated.

"Everything collapsed. I can see columns of smoke, it's a disaster, a
disaster," Marco Rinaldi, the mayor of Ussita, one of the pretty
mountain villages hit hardest by the last quake, told journalists.
"I was sleeping in my car, I saw hell break out," he said.The quake was powerful enough to
set off car alarms in Rome, 120 kilometres (75 miles) from the
epicentre, and the capital's underground rail network was closed for
structural safety checks.
Much of Italy's land mass and some of its surrounding waters are
prone to seismic activity with the highest risk concentrated along its
mountainous central spine.

Italy straddles the Eurasian and African tectonic plates, making it vulnerable to seismic activity when they move.
In addition to the Amatrice disaster in August, just over 300 perished when a quake struck near the city of L'Aquila in 2009.
In 1980 tremors near Naples left 3,000 dead and an estimated 95,000
died in the 1908 Messina disaster, when a quake in the waters between
mainland Italy and Sicily sent massive waves crashing into both coasts.

Prime Minister Renzi: 'We will rebuild'

Matteo Renzi has pledged to
"rebuild everything" after the quake and has expresses compassion for
the people affected. His cabinet will meet tomorrow to discuss financial
measures.
He says the money will be found to rebuild churches, houses and businesses.

Update from Josephine McKenna in Italy

Head of Civil Protection dept
Fabrizio Curcio has confirmed at a 12:20pm (local time) press conference
that there are no deaths however around 20 have been injured.
Viability of the towns "seriously compromised".
Pope Francis expressed his closeness to quake victims at this
morning's Angelus at St Peter's Square which garnered applause from
crowds at Vatican.
"I am praying for the injured and the families that have suffered
major damage and also the personnel engaged in rescues and assistance, "
he said.
Italian president Sergio Mattarella has expressed "solidarity and support" for the victims.

Priests advised to hold Mass outdoors

A Catholic Church leader in one
of the two regions where another earthquake has caused buildings to
collapse is advising parish priests to avoid holding Mass inside
churches.
Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti told priests in the Umbria region to hold
Mass outdoors following the Sunday morning earthquake as well as on All
Saint's Day on Tuesday, a holiday on which Catholic's remember the
dead.
The news agency ANSA said Bassetti, head of the Catholic Bishops
Conference of Umbria, made the decision after consulting with the head
of the region.
The earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 has damaged
historic churches in the town of Norcia, including the 14th century St.
Benedict cathedral in one of the city's main piazza.

Cracks have appeared at St Paul's Basilica

The earthquake in central Italy has damaged the 4th century church in Rome commonly known as 'St Paul's Outside the Walls'.
ANSA news agency reported that cornices fell and cracks appeared in
the walls after the quake struck central Italy and shook many buildings
in the capital.
A beam that supported a large candelabra had also become detached causing more damage.
The report said firefighters and police were called to the basilica,
one of the most popular for Christian pilgrims after the quake.
The Basilica is one of Rome's four ancient, Papal, major basilicas,
along with the Basilicas of St. John in the Lateran, St. Peter's, and
St. Mary Major.

The Basilica was founded by the
Roman Emperor Constantine I over the burial place of St. Paul, where it
was said that, after the Apostle's execution, his followers erected a
memorial, called a cella memoriae.

Rome officials also checking the Colosseum and Roman Forum for signs of cracks or quake damage.

Civil Protection Agency's desperate tweet

The mayors are asking for help.. People are exhausted. They need solidarity from all Italians. Situation very serious.

The head of Italy's civil protection agency says there are no immediate reports of deaths.
Fabrizio Curcio said some people suffered injuries as numerous
buildings that had resisted previous temblors in August and last week
collapsed. He did not provide details on the nature or extent of the
injuries.
Curcio says the agency is using helicopters to tend to the injured and to assess damage.
He says 1,300 people displaced on Wednesday by a pair of powerful
aftershocks to an August quake that killed nearly 300 had been evacuated
to the coast in recent days and that the operation would continue.

Tremors felt in Rome

Residents in parts of the
capital ran out into the streets as the walls and floors of homes and
buildings shook for several seconds, writes Josephine McKenna. The
fire service received dozens of calls in the capital and the metro was
stopped temporarily while officials checked the strength of the quake.

"Disaster, disaster!"

The mayor of quake-hit Ussita said a huge cloud of smoke erupted from the crumbled buildings.
"It's a disaster, a disaster!" Mayor Marco Rinaldi told the ANSA news agency. "I was sleeping in the car and I saw hell."
Another hard-hit city, Castelsantangelo sul Nera, also suffered new damage.
The quake was felt throughout the Italian peninsula, with reports as
far north as Bolzano and as far south as Bari. Residents rushed into the
streets in Rome, where ancient palazzi shook, swayed and lurched for a
prolonged spell.
The head of the civil protection authority in the March region,
Cesare Spuri, said there have been reports of buildings collapsing in
many cities.
"We are trying to understand if people are under the rubble," Spuri said.
In Norcia, nuns knelt in prayer and a firefighter appealed to a
priest to help maintain calm among dozens of residents gathered there,
including some in wheel chairs.

The church, which had withstood
the August earthquake in August and last week's aftershocks, still was
standing, but television pictures showed piles of stone had accumulated
at the bottom of one wall. One stone was thrown meters into the center
of the piazza, illustrating the quake's force.
"We have to keep people calm. Prayer can help. I don't want people to
go searching for family members," the firefighter appealed as cameras
from SKY TG24 filmed.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Center put the magnitude at
6.6 or 6.5 with an epicenter 132 kilometers northeast of Rome and 67
kilometers east of Perugia, near the epicenter of last week's temblors.
The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude at 6.6.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences put the magnitude at 6.5
and said it had a depth of 10 kilometers, a relatively shallow quake
near the surface but in the norm for the quake-prone Apennine Mountain
region.

'It's all destroyed.
Arquata del Tronto no longer exists'

In Arquata del Tronto a small
comune (municipality) in the Italian region of La Marche which had been
devastated by the Aug. 24 earthquake that killed nearly 300
people, Mayor Aleandro Petrucci said, "There are no towns left."
"Everything came down," he said.

Archbishop Lefebvre

“This Second Vatican Council Reform, since it has issued from Liberalism and from Modernism, is entirely corrupt; it comes from heresy and results in heresy, even if all its acts are not formally heretical. It is thus impossible for any faithful Catholic who is aware of these things to adopt this Reform, or to submit to it in any way at all. To ensure our salvation, the only attitude of fidelity to the Church and to Catholic doctrine, is a categorical refusal to accept the Reform.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

“And we have the precise conviction that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression, is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic religion-another religion.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

That Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.... The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church...

Archbishop Lefebvre

“Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible'-these things we do not accept."

The Real 3rd Secret of Fatima

Inlcudes Vatican II and the soon Apostate Church..."...because Fatima is a very apocalyptic message. It says that no matter what happens there are going to be terrible wars, there are going to be diseases, whole nations are going to be wiped out, there are going to be 3 days darkness, there are going to be epidemics that will wipe out whole nations overnight, parts of the earth will be washed away at sea and violent tornadoes and storms. It's not a nice message at all." Fr Malachi Martin

Pope XII: “Suicide Of Altering the Faith In Her Liturgy…..”

"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past."A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

St. Bernard:

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!

How secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps your body and soul together should be slain by him.

Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man, you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead, victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and pride have gotten the better of you!

But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death. The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that shall die.

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the victory.

Saint Athanasius

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith?The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ..."You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day. "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
